Snorkeling Cheeca and Hens and Chicks?

by Cindy
(Snowy Ohio)

I would like to know who you went out with for snorkeling the middle Florida Keys, e.g. Cheeca Rocks, Hens and Chicks . . .?

We are planning a trip to Marathon and looking to find one or two nice snorkeling trips and who to go with.

We've done Looe Key twice and are looking for something different for a family of four.

Don't miss snorkeling Sombrero Reef
by: Galen & Nicole

Hi Cindy,

We took a boat out of Robbie's Marina to go to Cheeca Rocks, and Alligator Reef (well worth doing).

For Hen & Chickens we had a unique experience. Cheeca Lodge at the time was closed for rebuilding after their fire. But they decided to run some of their snorkel boats from a nearby marina. And we took the very first trip. And it ended up being just the two of us on a forty foot boat with the captain (a friend). So that was a pretty nice experience. So I would check in with Cheeca Lodge to see what they are running now that they are open again. But I also think Robbie's Marina occasionally goes there.

But if you are in the Marathon area, you have to go to Sombrero Reef. It is the highlight of the area. A variety of catamarans go from Marathon.

Have a great time and please let us know how it went when you get back.

Sombrero Reef then?
by: Cindy

Who did you use for Sombrero Reef then?

Your pictures look very nice and sounds like you had a great day for snorkeling. We are going late March. What time of the year did you make your visit to Sombrero?

We did our last Florida trip in May and we took the Spirit catamaran. It was a good experience.
